lamp post

was talking to some people then i thought about this.

i feel that sometimes i am like a lamp post in the dark night. i mean it's abit far off..but it's what i felt at that time.

i am like a lamp post in the night..dark..cold..lonely. along the road. like the only lamp post you see in a picture kind..where everywhere else is dark. except the lamp post. i am this lamp post..where people come to when they are in the dark. when they are lost, but not really. where they feel they need a light and something more solid to lean on and rest and clear their mind. or to rant and cry and 'let it out'.

i am there..for people to lean on..to lash out at..to accompany them in their solitude. to light up their lives briefly, if they allow me to. to show them some stuff about their problems..themselves maybe.

then once they are well. ready to get along life again. when they have done being down. they move away from this lamp post. they get along in their lives..hopefully better and clearer. and the lamp post is alone..again.

sometimes i feel that way.

yeah, this lamp post never alone man!!! even if the people move on, they are moving on from that spot, carrying you as with them as you as signs of trust, gratitude, and companionship as you have shined your light on them.

i have felt the warmth in the light you shine, thanks a lot! i'm feeling better now! :)
